[There's an unfamiliar face peering into the Pokegear. One would be forgiven for thinking that it's a newcomer, except...]

Ah. Well... this is a problem...

[He brushes his hair back, looking a bit... troubled.]

I woke up this morning like this. Somehow I've aged ten years in one night. Is anyone else having a problem like this?

[Later, he can be found wandering around Goldenrod, with a Lucario, shiny Greninja, and shiny Pawniard trailing after him. The two shinys look pretty calm, but the Lucario looks slightly distressed at his trainer's predicament.]

It's okay. If you do think of something, let me know. Even if it's "I need someone to get food so we don't starve because I'm trying to not leave these people alone" or something.

I'm in Goldenrod right now anyway. I kind of... ended up here when things were all blocky, and Mai... kind of... needed me, I guess.

[He shifts a bit uncomfortably. He's still not sure how to feel about all of this... everything.]

From:

ratherbelocky

...Well, maybe. I'll let you know if it comes to that. Thanks.

[It actually is reassuring to have someone he can rely on. Like being in a team again. Anyway.]

So, you met up with Mai? Things good, with you two?

From:

grapeeater

... Some things got... aired out. So 'good' is kind of a relative term? But we're... not 'okay', but... we're talking, at least. I just... don't feel comfortable in this city. Too many people I... used to know.

From:

[Micchy, please, this is a private line, you can use your words. But no, York gets it.]

Yeah, I hear you. But talking's a step in the right direction, you can trust me on that. Maybe you can slip out while everyone's bite-sized and confused.

From:

grapeeater

... I can't just slip away from Mai like that, though. Or dump her with someone and run. And with everyone like this I wouldn't feel right just taking her and leaving, it would feel like kidnapping her again.

So I'll... wait. Until we can have a talk without things going so insane.

[Even if he's afraid of what that talk might be like.]

From:

ratherbelocky

...That was really well thought-out, man. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

[SON. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.]

At least you run a good chance of not getting recognized while things are this nuts. Lying low shouldn't be too hard.

From:

grapeeater

[At least it's a well thought-out plan for once in his life. One that possibly won't blow up in his face?]

That's true. And if all else fails, I still have a Kadabra with Teleport.

From:

ratherbelocky

And so should we all.

Let me know if you find out any way to reverse...[He waves a hand vaguely]...this, if it doesn't just go away in a couple days, all right? I'll be in touch.
